Hello again, Sewey.
There are no reported California cases in which an attorney being sued
for extortion unsuccessfully raised the litigation privilege as a
defense.

However, there ARE cases discussing the applicability of the
California litigation privilege to a civil RICO action brought in
Federal court.  Would those suffice as an answer to your question?

must be made in judicial proceedings 2.by litigant or attorney 3. to
acheive purpose of litigation 4. that has some reasonable or logical
connection to the action; Civil code 47.     Stuff like that.
